A new survey this week shows that more than one-third of Americans hide purchases from their significant others. Forty percent of those who do say they're trying to avoid arguments about money, according to the poll from Western Union.

This is a quarterly survey of 3,000 Americans. The poll also showed that people are worried about spending too much on holiday shopping this year.
